I get the feeling you're talking about me *CK* and I might not know that much about this kind of thing but at least I can admit that and try to learn instead of just following someone's written instructions and then wondering what the hell I just did after the problem is solved.

What meaning has my life that the inevitability of death cannot destroy it?

Still it might help to know where the virus is living.

Hey Hey,

What does a lack of DOS have to do with anything??? I'm quite anti-Microsoft and I'm really starting to get sick of all you MS bashers... this is your first post and you'll very quickly learn that you have no clue wtf you are talking about..

Windows 3.1 was a shell that ran on DOS.
Windows 95 was a "OS" (the term is used lightly)... that ran on DOS (most still considered it a shell...
Windows 98 didn't bring much in the way of improvements..

Enter the next generation of Microsoft Operating Systems... they realized that the Disk Operating System was dying and it was time to scrape it and advance with the rest of the world... It was something that was needed.

I'm not sure who you could do if you had DOS that you can't do now. You've got BartPE or ERD Commander... You've got NTFSDOS... You've got the recovery console... You've got Linux with the CaptiveNTFS driver... there are plenty of options for accessing the drive without booting the operating system...

So please explain to us how you could fix this problem if you still had DOS... yet you can't explain it with any of the more modern options that are available?

Peace,
HT

Get HiJack this. It can generate a log of all the processes that are going on in your machine. You can post the log here where some of the spyware AV experts can take a look at it to spot what is going on and you'll be able to use it as your experience grows.

Your getting a bit of a bollocking by members coz you should have really looked round a bit more before posting there are lots of articles about removing spyware and viruses in this website.
Don't bite back, learn the lesson and you'll be better off.
I don't think you posts are bad at all for your age, your questions are well worded you just should have done a bit more leg work first.

Back up all your important files before you start mucking around and write a down all your important settings. That way it won't matter if you screw your machine up trying to fix it.
Breaking things is good you learn a lot that way.
